从幽默话语的使用看英语教师语用能力的培养

The cultivation of instructor pragmatic competence through the use of humorous instructor discourse

国内外有关语用能力培养的研究主要针对学生,而对同样是外语学习者的教师的关注则明显偏少。语用能力的培养主要依赖语言的交际实践,对于教师来说,一种可行的语用能力培养路径是教师自己的课堂教学实践。教师幽默话语是一种以引发学生欢笑为目的的极为复杂的课堂话语实践行为,在实际操作中涉及语言、社会文化和情景语境三个层面,对教师的语用能力要求极高。因此它不仅是对教师语用能力的一种挑战,更是一个良好的语用能力培养项目。要利用幽默话语来培养教师的语用能力,可以按照语料积累与加工和幽默话语课堂实践两个步骤进行。

The majority of extant researches on pragmatic competence are based on students,neglecting instructors,who are the same as the students as foreign language learners. The cultivation of pragmatic competence mainly depends on linguistic practice, so instructor discourse in classroom could be tapped into as a practical way for instructor pragmatic competence development. Aimed at bringing students into laughter,humorous instructor discourse is a complex and demanding speech act involving linguistic,social and cultural,and situational context. In order to cultivate instructor pragmatic competence through the use of humorous instructor discourse,two steps could be followed: the accumulation and processing of material,and the classroom practice.
